Highland Lakes Canine Rescue depends on the generosity of individuals, businesses and foundations to provide the resources we need to rescue and care for our dogs. In addition to loving care, HLCR provides our dogs with food, great shelter, wonderful play areas, veterinary care, socialization and training, and the work necessary to find each dog its loving, forever home.

Our Highland Heroes are dedicated supporters of our mission. With their commitment to give monthly, regardless of amount, these donors provide a reliable source of revenue for our shelter sustaining our operations and enabling a better future the dogs we rescue.

As a Kennel Sponsor, you’ll have your name posted on your kennel and you’ll receive email pictures and updates on your dog tenants.

We have two types of kennels in our shelter complex:

Quarantine Kennels that welcome our newly admitted dogs until they have been examined by our veterinarian and cleared of communicable disease, and that house our dogs undergoing or recovering from medical treatments.

General Population Kennels that serve as home for dogs during their stays at HLCR.

While we give our dogs lots of play time in large outdoor pens and long walks on our many trails, their kennels provide shelter, security, routine and a sense of home. Each dog is assigned a kennel during its stay with us. Each kennel’s interior, exterior and dog bedding are thoroughly cleaned every day. We may have several dogs inhabiting a particular kennel over the course of a year as previous tenants find their forever homes.

The cost for the maintenance and upkeep of a kennel is $1,250 annually per resident dog. With your generous support we can continue to provide a nurturing, temporary home for these future pets.

A unique way of saving a dog in need of special care, the HLCR Medical Fund provides the resources to rescue and care for dogs with certain treatable medical conditions.

Donations to our medical fund enable us to rescue sick and injured dogs from area public shelters and provide the often expensive treatment and care they need to become adoptable without diminishing our ability to care for our other dogs.

Because Texas ranks in the top 10 US states for the deadly but curable heartworm disease, we are launching our program by treating heartworm-positive dogs. Your donations equip us to find and rescue sick dogs in need of this life-saving treatment.
